So many carrots! What to do with them?
I just joined to pass this recipe along. It's so easy, tasty and good for you-plus it has a really great name. "Carrot Dish." Ha! Aren't you convinced! It comes from a Turkish chef pal of mine. I almost always have some of this around.
Carrot Dish
---------------
2# shredded carrots
2 T. olive oil (or any oil)
1/2 t. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 C. plain yogurt (fage is great, if other, let drain for 20 minutes)
juice from 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, mashed to a paste
whatever herbs you like, or not
salt and pepper to taste
heat oil in med high skillet, add salt and pepper. add shredded carrots, mix to coat and cook three to four minutes, until still crunchy, but completely hot. remove from heat, cover for 3-5 minutes. they should be firm still, but not crunchy. uncover and let cool a bit.
mix yogurt, garlic, lemon juice. add to carrots. salt and pepper to taste.
This recipe is very forgiving, and open to interpretation. It's great with just about any herb you want to add. I particularly love it with cilantro, mint or dill (which is the most traditional) though it seems to be best when only one is used. You don't like garlic? Leave it out. Hot chili flakes? Tasty. It's frankly really great with no herbs. it's good warm, it's good cold, it's traditionally served room temperature. I like it after it's been in the fridge a few days.
Anyhow, I'm pretty excited to find this site, hope you enjoy the contribution!
